The reporting around this law is absurd.
Despite how it is covered, the law notably fails to do ANYTHING to help gig employees as it just codifies existing case law.
What this law does do is carve out exceptions in that case law so that gig employees have LESS protection.
This law could have been paired with other real protections for gig employees but that did not happen. No minimum wage guarantee extensions, no rights to organize, no improvements in access to the safety net...etc
How do people let our politicians get away with claiming they are protecting people with a bill that does nothing but erode those protections?
- shkkmo 7y agoI guess it might be considered a protection in that it won out against bills like AB71 that would have reversed the Dynamex precedent.
